Spring Break! McDonald's, movies, visit cousins, Chuck E. Cheese

On this Spring Break I think we have rented movies at least 3 times. I also took Mr. A out to the movies. He and Ty got sick for a few days and no one felt like going out to do the things we had planned. I also took the kids to McDonald's for ice cream and to play on the playground. They were very excited to go to one of the buildings that had been recently remodeled. When we got there we found out that the play place had been taken out and replaced with, you guessed it, video games!! This was disappointing for everyone. I take my kids there to play and get exercise not play more video games, they get plenty of that at home. We also went and visited Aunt Monica twice and played with cousins. Today we got to go to Chuck E. Cheese. I even love going here! It was very busy today though. We had to wait for our pizza for so long and then they gave us the wrong one. I decided to just keep what I had instead of waiting for a new one to be made and brought out. The kids received a treasure hunt over email and got 50 free tickets after they answered all the clues. They always love picking out prizes before we leave! Spring break is more than half over, I don't want it to end this year!

Spring Break-Barton Burr Library and Movie Day

It is Spring Break! I decided I was not going to spend everyday doing everyday things. I really wanted to spend time with my kids doing things that they asked to do, out of the ordinary things.

Mr. A has been begging to go a library we pass by on the way to get his allergy shots. After a little research I figure out it is the Barton Burr Library. On our first day of Spring Break we went there. It is a huge library, Ty would have loved it!! There are a few exhibits, but the kids weren't interested in those. What they loved was the water under the stairs and elevators. We visited this area twice, and of course had to throw pennies in to make a wish. They also loved the elevators. Since they were glass and open on the back Mr. A was fascinated with the gears and how they worked! While on the 5th floor we also looked over the banisters all the way to the 1st floor and out the windows at the parking lot below. I got a little dizzy! I finally got the kids to go to the Children's Area! There was a garden outside that they spent time in and fun things to look at inside too! Mr. A was so happy to find a big selection of comics and graphic novels. He picked out 10 to bring home. Miss E was not very excited about this trip, but we will do other things she will enjoy.





Today is Movie Day. I took the kids to Blockbuster. Mr A picked Real Steel and Puss in Boots. Miss E picked Barbie: A Mermaid Tale 2. It will take a couple of days to watch everything, but it will be relaxing!!

No, this picture is not blurry!!

I was so happy when I heard the word "positive" coming out of the mouth of Mr. A's teacher! But then I was instantly crushed when he said "No. this isn't a good thing." Apparently no one knows what happened to Mr. A's glasses. The teacher then goes on to tell me that Mr. A doesn't know what happened to the glasses either. They were found this way after being left inside the case and left on the desk while he was in the restroom. I was told that he put them on and didn't notice they were this way until another student told him.



This picture is not blurry, but the lens is completely scratched up on one side. How he could not see there was something wrong is beyond me. Needless to say, Mr. A is paying to repair this. He was being irresponsible by leaving them on his desk or lying (this is what I believe is really happening). I just paid to have these fixed last month when they "fell on the ground" and got stepped on.

Today was not perfect!

I'm Back!

So the last time I blogged was just before the holiday season started. It has taken me this long to catch up with all the things I was behind on. I don't know how it all piles up. But when I see a pile of something I just have to do something with it. I work on it until it is done and move onto the next thing. Now my piles of things aren't just paper. It could be something that needs repair. I could be the inbox of 200+ surveys that I had. Anyway, I now feel like I can move onto things that I want to do! Things feel perfect again!
